Centerville City Council February 12,2003 Meeting Minutes City Engineer Peterson indicated it may be a good idea to hold an informational neighborhood meeting to discuss the affect of water being brought to this development as 45 to 55 people are affected. Council agreed to schedule the neighborhood meeting for February 27,2003 at 6:00 p.m. and asked that Mr. Palzer and Ms. Moore-Sykes attend the meeting. 2. NPDES II Permit Update City Engineer Peterson indicated his firm is working on the NPDES Permit. Ms. Moore- Sykes indicated that the City has submitted its list of best management practices and has been granted a one-month extension to comply. She then indicated Council would review the information for approval at the second meeting in March. 3. Centerville Lions - Fete des Lacs Mr. Greg Kieselhorst, 7155 Brian Drive, addressed Council and requested funds on behalf of the Lions for the 2003 festival. He then indicated he had called the City and asked for an itemized expense report for the 2001 City festival as there was some contention on that with regard to the figures. He then handed out information to Council and clarified that the operating loss, or the cost to provide the festival to the City was $15,112. Council Member Capra indicated the $34,000 was over several years. Mayor Sweeney clarified that there were donations that were received and provided to the City but, due to the fact that the funds were not properly allocated to the Festival account, it appeared there was a $34,000 contribution by the City when that was not the case. He further commented that nearly $20,000 was raised in donations to help fund the festival in 2001 and same was operated by the Fete des Lacs/City Celebration Committee. Mr. Kieselhorst provided a draft of the budget for this year's festival for Council review. He then said the Lions would like the City to contribute $20,400 toward the cost of the festival. He further indicated that there is an account at Main Street bank where the funds could be deposited and noted that any donations received would be used to offset the cost to the City. Council Member Capra indicated that over the years the City had issues with the money coming in and the cash changing hands and previous Council wanted to pay a flat fee and have the City limit liability and that is where she stands. She then said she would not be opposed to paying $10,500 for the parade and fireworks but does not want to front anything more than that. Council Member Lee asked if revenues generated from concessions would go into that checking account. Page 4 of 15
